Did they ever come out with the 1.75 or whatever roller rockers?<hr></blockquote>

I talked to Tom last thursday about the 1.75 rocker arms ( adjustable of course) , and he said they would be about 2 weeks or so until he gets them.

street tunnel ram what is that? <hr></blockquote>
A tunnel ram has a very large plenum. It is made more so for racing applications in an attempt to boost your top end horsepower near redline. They are very tall, and would come out of the hood without a large cowl induction.

This is a typical performance intake manifold for a Small Block Chevy
This will give you good torque from idle to 5500 RPM (This is the Edelbrock Performer intake)
Now look at the difference compared to a tunnel ram...
Summit's Tunnel Ram with dual carb. setup
As you can see, it is noticeably larger and this intake does not make power until 3,500 RPM on up to 7,500 RPM. Low end torque is not a concern with an intake such as this.

do you have intake/exhaust? how much was your $/hp with that? mine was 190 (sale price)for CAI and 320 for exhaust...and I MAYBE gained 15 horses...that would be 34/hp...so I guess that supercharger would be a waste of money since its a whole dollar more per hp than my CAI and exhaust were :rolleyes: <hr></blockquote>
The point was not that a supercharger is a waste of money, I don't know how you read that. My point is that the horsepower per dollar of what Tom is charging for the package isn't all that great. He is in a better position than I to do more, and I believe I can make as much power as he claims with about half the money he is asking. SO...for those of you that missed it, the basic point of what I said is that Tom is asking too much for so little a gain. He needs to increase the power, or decrease the price.

Blig, it is my firm opinion that porting the heads on a 3.8L is a worthless/useless waste of time UNTIL you need more airflow than it needs n/a. The gains produced from the powerpak are from the camswap alone. Given the proper cam, you will produce the most horsepower you can until you really do some hefty port work to do nifty things like increasing valve sizes.<hr></blockquote>
When did I make the argument against anything you stated?

Uh, I think he was agreeing with you because it's a waste of money.

its only a waste of money on 3.8s. oh sorry, i am a little bias at the moment.

I look at it as a neccesary evil. If you want to or trying to get to be the fastest. You gotta pay to have everything possible available for the 3.8L to do it.

This kit is a lot like the RKSport headers. For a long time it was ALL we had to choose from - and they leaked. So either stick with stock, or buy a set you'll have to re-weld. And at that, near 300 dollars - for headers!

Anyway, Nino, love the new signarture. Finally, the two-cylinder mod we've always been talking about.
